This file provides totals for detailed Hispanic groups from
Census 2000 and from the results of a simulation analysis. The
simulated totals presented are illustrative and do not replace the
official Census 2000 totals for these groups. The totals from Census
2000 are based on sample estimates from the Spanish/Hispanic/Latino
question on the long form and are the official figures. The simulated
totals provided do not fully reflect self-identification. Instead,
they include (1) the responses of those who self-identified into a
specific group and (2) the responses of those who reported a general
term and were tabulated into a specific group using responses to the
place of birth or ancestry questions.
